Godzilla: King of the Monsters(2019)
Members of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species-thought to be mere myths-rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity's very existence hanging in the balance. For more about Godzilla: King of the Monsters and the Godzilla: King of the Monsters Blu-ray release, see Godzilla: King of the Monsters Blu-ray Review published by Randy Miller III on August 23, 2019 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Director: Michael Dougherty Writers: Michael Dougherty, Zach Shields, Max Borenstein Starring: Kyle Chandler, Vera Farmiga, Millie Bobby Brown, Ken Watanabe, Ziyi Zhang, Bradley Whitford Producer: Mary Parent » See full cast & crew Godzilla: King of the Monsters Blu-ray, Video QualityWithout a doubt, Warner Bros.' 1080p transfer of Godzilla: King of the Monsters is a solid presentation of complex source material. There's so much green-screen and CGI that the film quickly establishes a heightened atmosphere and stays there, ushering in an odd mixture of razor-sharp reality and textured, not-always-convincing visual effects. (Hardly a criticism, mind you, since we are dealing with fantastic, fictional beasts.) Although the sheer amount of computer-generated material is somewhat exhausting from a sensory standpoint, the Blu-ray handles all the detail and color quite nicely, from rough scales to glowing embers and just about everything in-between. It's no secret that King of the Monsters offers style over substance, which extends to the lighting as well: it's dramatic and surprisingly colorful at times, with an overall effect that favors a dynamic "cool factor" over any kind of sustained logic or reason. Skin tones seem accurate, black levels run extremely deep, and shadow detail rarely suffers. All told, the film's visuals are at times extremely impressive and they're served well on Blu-ray, with only trace amounts of banding and slight compression artifacts on display during subtle color gradients and more complex visual effects.
The separately-available 4K disc (review forthcoming) offers a clear improvement but, in almost every respect, Warner Bros.' excellent 1080p transfer
will be more than enough for many viewers. Godzilla: King of the Monsters Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere's even better news in the audio department: the default (yes, defualt) Dolby Atmos mix is every bit as good as expected, and then some. Plenty of discrete channel separation and strong panning effects here; many scenes do a great job of enveloping viewers right in the middle of the action, and the low end is represented exceptionally well to boot. Dialogue is often front and center for the rare intimate conversations, while others are quite crowded and spill into the rear channels -- the same holds true in larger, cavernous locales. Bear McCreary's original score also holds its own; although there's less music than you'd think, it kicks in when needed and adds a predictable amount of on-the-nose support during epic battles, intense stare-downs, and a few of the more somber moments as well.
Height-wise, there's also a lot of panning and perfect placement here -- no surprise at all, given the size of Godzilla's non-human characters --
which adds another layer of immersion that makes this as close to perfect as home theater audio gets. (For those without Atmos-enabled receivers,
don't worry: it automatically folds down into a more-than-respectable Dolby TrueHD 7.1 mix.) Overall, it's a top-tier effort that shakes your room at
just the right moments. Optional subtitles are included during the main feature and all applicable extras in the languages listed above. Godzilla: King of the Monsters: Other Editions
